eyes: The holy Church observes itself with vigilance, both before God and before men. The Psalmist had beheld its eyes within, when he says,"All the glory of that daughter of kings is within;" and its eyes without, when he adds immediately, "clothed around with golden fringes in variety." Otherwise: whether thou shalt attend to the letter, or seek for an allegory, in the Gospel thou wilt always find light. Another translation has: "Full of eyes before and behind;" because the light of the Gospel both illumines the dark sayings of the Law, and pours upon it the brightness of a new grace.
